Definitions
- the present invention concerns a process for purifying-sweetening natural gas by means of controlled dissociation of hydrates (clathrates) and the use of such hydrates as separators. More specifically, the invention concerns a process for separating and/or removing sour gases, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, from natural gas or from the associated gas in petroleum reservoirs, through the formation of mixed hydrates, wherein the selective separation takes place both during the hydrates decomposition, under pressure conditions close to atmospheric pressure and temperatures little below zero, and, thereafter, under pressures and temperatures close to equilibrium values.
- Natural gas and gas associated with oil reservoirs have become, in the latest years, a strategic energy reserve alternative to conventional energy sources, such as coal and crude oil.
- Natural gas coming from production sites essentially consists of methane, but also contains higher hydrocarbons (from C 2 to C 5+ ), and, in addition, variable percentages of inert or polluting gases (such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide) and water. These components, that are normally found in the gaseous phase, must be reduced or removed in order to comply with the pipeline specifications. Such specifications indicate, as concerns hydrogen sulfide (also known as sulfurated hydrogen), a concentration close to zero. On the other hand, the latest discoveries of natural gas reservoirs increasingly evidence the presence of remarkable amounts of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide together with methane.
- gas hydrates are solid crystalline compounds that form when water combines with small molecules (generally gases), normally at temperatures close to zero and high pressures.
- Molecules that may form hydrates include not only hydrocarbons such ad methane, ethane and propane, but also carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and nitrogen.
- water crystallizes in a clathrate structure i.e., as an inclusion complex where small size molecules (former) are trapped in a cage-like lattice structure formed by hydrogen bonded molecules.
- Hnatov et al. (US Patent US 5434330 to M. A. Hnatov and J. Happel) describe a method purifying natural gas from nitrogen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide through the formation of gas hydrates with a pre- cooled aqueous solution of methanol. Coming into contact with said solution, the natural gas forms hydrates, thus separating from the polluting gases (which increase in concentration in the gaseous stream), and is then recovered from the hydrates suspension by thermal dissociation.
- the pollutant is mainly hydrogen sulfide; further, it is to be noted that the use of methanol introduces some complexity in the process and may give rise to environmental concerns.
- the international patent application publ. No. WO2006/ 002781 discloses a further method for purifying natural gases by means of hydrates.
- thermodynamic conditions suitable only to the formation of hydrogen sulfide hydrates are used, the latter being separated by sedimentation.
- the document further teaches to operate on the hydrogen sulfide hydrates by a thermal dissociation, and to recycle the resulting aqueous solution in the same natural gas field or in suitable geological structures.
- the technological proposal disclosed does not take into account the phenomenon of hydrates formation promotion that the hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide hydrates exert on the formation of clathrates of natural gas light components.
- the cited document only considers the thermodynamics of the process and does not consider that in a gaseous mixture the hydrates formation occurs between water and all the "former" molecules present in the mixture.
- gases such as hfeS and CO 2 promote the formation of mixed hydrates of natural gas at lower pressures and higher temperatures than the pressures and temperatures typical of each gas individually taken (Sun C. Y., Chen G. J., Lin W. and Guo T. M.; "Hydrate formation conditions of sour natural gases", J. Chem. Eng. Data, 2003, 48, 600-602). Therefore, when carrying out a process such as that dis- closed in WO2006/002781 a partial separation of gas would be obtained, but such separation would not be such as to justify a process effective on an industrial scale.
- the controlled dissociation of hydrates under low pressures ad pro- posed according the invention is based on a purification process of a natural gas containing significant concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. These sour gases tend to favor the hydrates formation, which may be effected at temperatures and pressures much less severe than those characterizing pure methane. According to the invention, it has been found that once a solid solution of mixed hydrates has been obtained, it is possible to obtain a separation by acting only on the operating pressure or on the operating temperature.
- Such separation procedure may also be applied in the case that the well head is plugged; it is possible to act on the "plug" formed, by mildly disso- ciating the mixed hydrate, thus obtaining a first separation upstream of the first classical separation processes.
- the present invention specifically provides a process for purifying-sweetening natural gas through the controlled dissociation of the corresponding hydrates, which process comprises, in a sequence, the follow- ing steps: a) forming hydrates of a natural gas, having concentrations of H 2 S and CO 2 of from 10 ppm to 40% by volume, in a reactor and with the addition of water, if not already present in the feedstock, to obtain a first separation step during the formation of the said hydrates; b) downloading from said reactor and separating the gas remaining from step a) which did not form hydrates; c) purifying the hydrates formed in the previous steps by dissociation of the H 2 S hydrates under pressure conditions above 0.1 MPa and at temperatures comprised between O 0 C and -5 0 C 1 to obtain a second separation step during the dissociation of the said hydrates formed in step a); d) downloading the gas produced by the controlled dissociation of step c), enriched in H 2 S; e) obtaining fast dis
- the claimed process also comprises, further to said step e), the following step: f) recovering the reaction water and recycling it for another sequence of the procedure of hydrates formation from natural gas.
- step a) of hydrates formation is carried out in a batch reactor in the presence of water or with water in the feedstock.
- the procedure proposed according to the invention may also be advantageously applied by carrying out, before the operating steps referred to before, a preliminary procedure of "reformation-concentration" of the methane hydrates in the solid phase (which will be described in more detail with refer- ence to the operating Examples) by carrying out a thermodynamic cycle close to the equilibrium curve, with venting of the unreacted sour gas downstream the said "reformation-concentration" procedure, comprising, after the steps a) and b), the following steps:
- A. f orming hydrates of a natural gas, having concentrations of H 2 S and CO 2 of from 10 ppm to 40% by volume, in a reactor containing therein an already formed hydrate, under pressures and temperatures close to the equilibrium pressure and temperature, to obtain a methane- enriched mixed hydrate and, possibly, light hydrocarbons, and a remaining gas consisting of H 2 S and CO 2 ;
- B. downloading from said reactor, and separating, the remaining gas from step A) which did not form hydrates, consisting of H 2 S and CO 2 ; the remainder of the process being analogous to steps c) and following as defined above.
- the said steps A) and B) are cyclically repeated two or more times.
- conditioning agents suitable to favour the hydrates formation are preferably mixed in the process reaction water, said agents being selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts, phosphonium salts, mixtures of clayey aggregates containing kaolin and montmorillonite.
- coformer agents suitable to favour the hydrates formation process, may be added in the reaction water.
- the said agents may be, for exam- pie, tetrahydrofurane (THF), cyclopentane or mixtures thereof.
- reaction water may be added in the reaction water, these compounds being preferably selected from the group consisting of glycols and alcohols.
- Another optional technological solution, finally, is that of employing, two or more reactors working in parallel, in order to assure the continuity of the process.
- the latent heats during the fast dissociation of the purified hydrates are exploited to obtain a heath exchange in the course of the process.
- Figure 1 shows the dissociation rate (in % mol/sec) of hydrogen sul- fide hydrates (H2S), of carbon dioxide hydrates (CO2) and methane hydrates (CH4) at 0.2 MPa in the experimental conditions of the second part of the process according to the invention described in Example 1 ;
- Figure 2 is a diagram taken from the known literature, showing the "self-preservation" effect in the dissociation of methane hydrates at atmospheric pressure and temperatures little below 0 0 C;
- Figure 3 is a diagram taken from the most recent literature, showing the "reformation-concentration” cycle of methane hydrates, at temperatures little above 0 0 C close to the equilibrium curve on the P-T plane;
- Figure 4 is a diagram taken from the same literature, showing the experimental behavior of the "reformation-concentration" cycle of methane hydrates;
- Figure 5 is a simplified block diagram of the process according to the invention, in the embodiment described in Example 2; and Figure 6 is a simplified block diagram of the process according to another embodiment of the invention, as described in Example 3.
- the contact between water and gas produces 18.4 t of hydrate.
- the hydrate formed has a mixed composition containing higher percentages of sour compounds (CO 2 , H 2 S), which are formed in less severe thermodynamic conditions, and lower concentrations, with respect to the sour compounds, of methane and other higher hydrocarbons (first separation). Practically, the transformation of the sour components (H 2 S and CO 2 ) from gaseous to solid (hydrate) is complete, with a yield close to 100%.
- the remaining gas which did not form hydrates substantially consists of light hydrocarbons (methane and ethane in this case), and is extracted from the reaction chamber and sent to storage or to the use thereof.
- the hydrate present in the reactor, containing methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, is depressurized to 0.1-0.2 MPa and kept at a temperature from -1°C to -2°C. In these conditions, the decomposition rate of hydrates containing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide is about three times the decomposition rate of hydrates containing methane or other light hydro- carbons.
- the final separation of H 2 S and CO 2 thus, occurs at this stage (second separation stage during the dissociation).
- the reaction occurs in bulk in a batch reactor.
- the reactor is repressurized (1-2) and then it is heated up to close to the equili- brium curve (2-3).
- Tr reactor temperature
- the equilibrium curve is followed, and then the cycle (1-2-3-1) is repeated.
- the remaining gas mainly consists of methane, which is extracted from the reaction chamber for being used (second block); - 8000 Nm 3 of the feed mixture are fed to the reaction chamber, thus reaching 9.5 MPa (third block);
- the reaction chamber is repressurized with the feed gas mixture, reaching the pressure of 9.5 MPa and the temperature of 20 0 C (sixth block); - by heating again to a temperature close to the equilibrium curve and by applying the thermodynamic cycle previously described (3rd d formation /seventh block) a mixed hydrate is obtained having a composition of 88% methane hydrates and 12% hydrogen sulfide hydrates;
- the remaining hydrate (88% methane and 12% H 2 S) is depressurized to 0.1-0.3 MPa and kept at a temperature between -1 °C and -2°C to allow for the dissociation of H 2 S hydrates (ninth block); in these conditions, the dissociation rate of hydrates containing hydrogen sulfide is about three times the dissociation rate of methane hydrates: the final separation of hydrogen sulfide thus takes place at this stage;
- Example 2 Taking into account the composition of the gaseous mixture of Example 2 it is possible to separate the sour fraction by operating a part of the process under constant pressure.
- thermodynamic cycle is reduced to a point, located close to the equilibrium conditions.
- the process is thus rendered simpler, as shown in Figure 6 of the enclosed drawings.
- the remaining gas mainly consists of methane, which is extracted from the reaction chamber to be used (second block);
- the remaining hydrate (88% methane and 12% H 2 S) is depressurized to 0.1-0.3 MPa and kept at a temperature between -1 0 C and -2°C to allow for the dissociation of H 2 S hydrates (sixth block); in these conditions, the dissociation rate of hydrates containing hydrogen sulfide is about three times the dissociation rate of methane hydrates: the final separation of hydrogen sulfide thus takes place at this stage;
